“Bubby” Dog Portrait

A powerful pet portrait capturing Bubby's soulful expression, rendered with exceptional detail through Fall's innovative combination of watercolor and colored pencil techniques on cold press Arches paper. The unique interaction between colored pencil and paper texture created a striking two-tone effect, allowing Fall to achieve remarkable detail in the dog's fur variations, while precise ink work defines the rock's texture and soft colored pencil layered over yellow-green watercolor wash brings dimension to the tennis ball. The portrait combines Fall's technical mastery across multiple media - from the delicate reflections in Bubby's eyes to the hand-lettered typography along the side - creating a sophisticated yet emotionally resonant piece that demonstrates his background in both fine art, professional typography, and appreciation for dogs.
